(NEWSER) – A new Taliban video shows what might be the world's first canine POW. In the video, the militants claim to have captured a military service dog during a battle with American forces in Afghanistan's Laghman province in December, reports the Washington Post. Both ABC andFox News quote Pentagon sources as saying the dog actually belongs to another nation in the US-led coalition force, perhaps Britain. The dog is seen on a chain, outfitted with the electronic gear it wore during the raid, say the Taliban.
